About Wrapping Studio - Gift Items Supplier in India

India, South Asia, is the base of Wrapping Studio and the supplier currently lists eight active products in its catalogue. The catalogue includes Wax Tablets, Floral Decor Scented Candles, Themed Soaps, a standard Gift Box, a Designer Premium Gift Box, Glass Scented Candles (HS code 3406.00, packed in glass containers with paraffin or soy wax and fragrance oils), Tin/Metal Candles (HS code 3406.00.00, made from tin plate or alloy), and Soaps Gift Boxes. Each product is grouped under the supplier’s top categories of Gift Items, Candles, Hygiene Products, Salt, Soaps & Detergents, and Paper Boxes, reflecting a focus on small‑batch gifting and personal care items.

The eight products cover two main HS‑code families: 3406 for scented candles in glass or metal containers, and packaging items such as gift boxes that fall under the broader paper and cardboard HS chapters (typically 4819). While the catalogue does not list HS codes for the wax tablets, themed soaps or salt, these items are usually classified under HS 2106 for edible salt and HS 3401 for soaps and detergents. The supplier’s active range therefore spans both finished consumer gift goods and raw material‑based hygiene products, all sourced or manufactured within India.

Product Range and Specialties of Wrapping Studio

The listed products comprise scented candles in glass and tin containers, solid wax tablets, themed soaps, and two styles of paper gift boxes. In the candle segment, Indian manufacturers often use paraffin wax with a melt point of 55‑60 °C or soy‑based waxes with a melt point of 45‑50 °C, fragrance loads of 5‑10 % by weight, and wick types ranging from cotton to wood. Glass containers are typically clear or frosted, with capacities of 100‑250 ml, while tin containers are produced from tin‑plate of 0.2‑0.3 mm thickness and may include printed graphics. For soaps, standard formulations target a pH of 8‑9, include glycerin levels of 10‑20 %, and may be scented or unscented; they are commonly packed in cardboard boxes of 300‑400 gsm board. Gift boxes themselves are usually single‑wall or double‑wall corrugated cardboard, dimensions ranging from 10 × 10 × 5 cm to 25 × 25 × 10 cm, and printed with CMYK inks suitable for export markets.

Trade and Export Information - Wrapping Studio

India is a major exporter of scented candles, soaps, and paper packaging, with Europe, the United States, and the Middle East representing the largest import destinations. HS chapter 34 (perfumes and cosmetics) and chapter 48 (paper and paperboard) dominate customs documentation for these goods. Buyers typically request ISO 9001 quality‑management certification and, for fragrance‑laden candles, REACH registration of the fragrance chemicals. For soaps, compliance with the EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC No 1223/2009) or US FDA cosmetics guidelines is common. Export shipments are frequently packed in 20‑ft or 40‑ft containers, with glass candles wrapped in bubble‑wrap and placed in wooden crates to mitigate breakage, while paper boxes are stacked on pallets. Common Incoterms used by Indian exporters include FOB Mumbai and CIF Dubai, reflecting the logistical hubs used for these product classes.

Sourcing from Wrapping Studio - Buyer Guidance

When sourcing scented candles from Wrapping Studio, request a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for the wax and fragrance blend, a burn‑time test report, and confirmation of compliance with REACH or local fragrance regulations. For tin‑metal candles, verify the tin‑plate grade (typically 0.2 mm tin‑plate) and request a coating thickness certificate if a lacquer finish is applied. For soaps, ask for a pH test report, microbial limit test, and a full ingredient declaration to ensure alignment with EU or US cosmetic standards. For gift boxes, obtain a sample of the board grade (e.g., 350 gsm single‑wall) and a print proof, and confirm that the supplier holds ISO 9001 or equivalent quality certification before placing a bulk order.
